EVANSVILLE, Ind. – University of Southern Indiana Baseball Head Coach Chris Ramirez announced the addition of Brandon Krennrich as an assistant coach. Krennrich will be responsible for coaching the catchers and recruiting.

“Brandon is probably the hardest working assistant coach I have ever had,” said Ramirez. “Kren was the workhorse on my coaching staff the previous two years at Lenoir-Rhyne and has a gift for developing players at the catching position. He will be instrumental in identifying and recruit players from around the country to help bring an OVC championship to USI.”

Krennrich comes to USI after spending the last two seasons at Lenoir-Rhyne as a catcher’s coach and first base coach. He helped Ramirez lead the Bears to top-25 rankings in 2023 and 2024, reaching seventh nationally in 2023 and 11^th in the poll in 2024, and a 68-38 record the last two springs.

Offensively the last two years, Lenoir-Rhyne was among the national leaders, including runs per game (9.5) and team batting average (.322).

Krennrich was on the Georgetown College staff during 2022 where he was the bench coach and assistant pitching coach. He also was the director of baseball operations for the Tigers, who were 32-19 in 2022, and the junior varsity head coach.

Prior to joining the collegiate coaching ranks, Krennrich played professionally for the Utica Unicorns of the Independent Baseball League (USPBL). He also was a three-year starter (2019-21) as a catcher and relief pitcher at Georgetown and a second-team All-Region catcher at Fort Scott Community College (2017).

Krennrich is a native of Gallatin, Tennessee, and graduated from Georgetown in 2021 with a bachelor’s degree in sociology.
